To use gDiapers you need gPants (those are our breathable cotton diaper covers) and inserts (disposable and/or cloth). We recommend you have at least 6-8 gPants per size. You can re-use gPants throughout the day, only swapping out the dirty insert at changes, but sometimes the gPants will get dirty and you'll want to have clean ones at the ready.

Newborn babies require a unique design, one that works with their inclination to curl up their tiny legs, one that fits their tiny bodies, and one that allows room for their umbilical cord to heal. We designed our newborn gPants for all those reasons.

"One size fits all" isn’t an accurate statement. Babies come in all shapes and sizes, so a diaper that comes in multiple sizes designed to fit them at their specific stages of growth will be the most comfortable and effective diaper. This is why we have five sizes of gPants to meet your baby’s changing shape.

gDiapers Disposable Inserts are supremely absorbent inserts with multiple options for disposal. The disposable inserts are made of cellulose fibers, fluff pulp and super absorber and can be flushed, home composted (wet ones only) or tossed.

gDiapers Disposable Inserts have been designed to be flushed down toilets in North America. Please note that all solid waste should be flushed in a toilet regardless of which diaper brand you choose to use.

gDiapers Disposable Inserts can be home composted (wet ones only) in a wide variety of home compost systems. The Disposable Inserts are made of cellulose, fluff pulp and super absorber, which alone would be a valuable contribution to your compost, but when combined with the added nitrogen from your baby’s urine, makes an incredibly rich soil amendment safe for all manner of plants and vegetables.

Many babies sleep through the night comfortably using only one Disposable Insert. But some babies require a little extra absorbency, particularly during growth spurts when their output increases. If you have an extra heavy wetter on your hands, here are a few options.

Childcare providers are often caring for multiple babies at one time, so we recommend providing them with gPants that are already pre-stuffed with your choice of insert. This way they can change the whole gDiaper more quickly. Keep 3-4 gPants in the diaper bag, pre-stuffed with either Disposable or Cloth Inserts. Provide extra inserts and pouches, just in case. Include a wet bag to bring home soiled items.

We offer weight guidelines to help you anticipate when your baby may need to move up in size, but the best indication that the time is right is your own gut instinct. If you begin to experience leaks and you’ve exhausted all the troubleshooting tips, it might be time. If you begin to see deep red marks on baby’s skin, marks that indicate the gPants are too tight and you have no room left to expand on the adjustable waistband, it is likely time. You can refer to the size chart below for our general weight guidelines.

gDiapers Cloth Inserts are easy to care for if you treat them kindly. Avoid using any type of barrier/diaper cream as they are extremely difficult to remove and will affect the absorbency of the cloth fibers. Do not use bleach or detergents with added softeners or enzymes, as they will eat away at the fibers and your inserts will no longer function as well.

gDiapers Cloth Inserts are made of 4 layers of absorbent fabrics. The top two layers are a soft microfleece that pulls moisture away from baby’s skin. The bottom two layers are a hemp/cotton blend that holds the moisture. These bottom layers are what sit directly against the waterproof pouch, which is permeable to vapor to allow airflow to baby’s skin. The waterproof pouch will not permit liquid to pass through, but if a Washable Insert is full and those two bottom layers are at capacity, they can emit vapor through the pouch, causing a damp feeling.
